Maxson Goh Films Diamond Bus North West 66900 (MX55FFL), a 2005 Volvo B7RLE with a very musical ZF ecomat gearbox on the 36 towards Manchester.
Could this be the very best ZF Ecomat bus still in regular service in 2023? Or can you find another better one?

In Santiago, it were lots of B7Rs exactly like this, model 2005, and didn't sound or drive like this... Deploys lots of power under kickdown driving. Gives me so much nostalgics.

Sounds awesome! Sydney still has quite a number of O405s/O405NHs running as of today, with a very pleasant ZF Ecomat as well. Meanwhile, this B7RLE sounds like a Euro 2 or 3 B7RLE with a D7C engine, which is different from SBS8030L or Sentosa's former B7RLEs.

Here in Portugal, until December 31st 2022, we used to have amazing ZF buses (MAN 12.220 and Mercedes-Benz O405 for example) dating from the late 90s and early 2000s that held up till their withdrawal, they were operated by Vimeca Transportes. I was super sad when they went out of service after the company changed to Carris Metropolitana. My whole childhood is gone. Replaced by Mercedes-Benz Conecto LF €6. I have to take those Conectos every day and they're a pain. They have City Star Eco seats and have started to break down a lot recently. I miss the old buses, especially the MAN 12.220, they were my absolute favourites.

Sometimes, when the O405s (the ones operated by Vimeca were nicknamed the UR95 or UR2000, UR means urban and was the name used by the bodywork company Irmãos Mota for their Atomic bodywork line) broke down, they were repaired on the exact location they stopped during service and were started back up (although struggling a bit because they were 27 years old) but man they were a beast, a euro 2 beast!
